Automating WSS v3/MOSS 2007 development environment setup: Part II – Decisions

Hello,

Previous post discussed the different options (mandatory and others) you needed to evaluate before setting up a SharePoint development environment. In the next series, I plan to explain one way to create this an automated way (or unattended).
To do so, I made these decisions for the environment:

• 1 Virtual Machine with 2 Virtual Hard Disk Drives (1 for OS, and 1 for binaries and data)
• Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 Enterprise Edition en-us x86
• Active Directory Domain Controller role
• IIS 6
• .Net 3.5 (but NOT the SP1 - issues with SharePoint are confirmed)
• ASP .Net v2.0.50727
• SQL Server 2005 SP2 Standard
• Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 Enterprise Edition SP1 + Infrastructure Update
• Visual Studio Team System 2008
• Visual Studio extensions for Windows SharePoint Services v1.2
• Microsoft Office 2007 Enterprise Edition SP1
• Microsoft SharePoint Designer 2007 SP1
• Internet Explorer 7 + IE DevToolbar
• WSS v3 + MOSS 2007 SDKs v1.4
• Notepad ++
• Fiddler 2
• .Net Reflector
• Scott Hillier development method : https://www.codeplex.com/SPDevMod with philosophy explained here : https://scothillier.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!8F5DEA8AEA9E6FBB!197.entry

That said, next posts will describe one of the ways to build that.
